I love this bra! unlike other reviewers, I have been looking for a sturdy "workhorse" with a conical shape for everyday and sweater wearing. I finally found it. the only problem I have is the cups being a bit smaller than I usually find in my size 34H. Will be exchanging for the next cup size up.
This bra is wonderful!

This brassiere along with the Goddess Alice are THE 2 bras I can actually wear. I'm very full-busted, and these two styles provide strong support and actually do cover the bosom, which means no uncomfortable jiggling around. It's becoming nearly impossible to find bras that aren't deeply revealing, and at my size, I'd rather be contained than have everything pouring out of the brassiere. I'm only sorry I was not able to purchase that beautiful purple color. I will be ordering more of these bras in the future, and hope very much that Goddess will continue to make them.

I have never had a problem with Curvy Kate fitting and she hit another home run. Love this bra! And it fits like a dream. Actually touches the breast bone in between, which is apparently just about like finding a unicorn.
Pretty and supportive. Winner!

I ordered this and another Shock Absorber bra after I finally admitted that my Anitas were dingy and worn out. I wasn't completely satisfied with my previous sports bras so I tried Shock Absorber and there is a HUGE difference. No bounce and very supportive! A bit hard to get the thing on, but that goes with the territory of being busty. My only real complain is that after a few uses one of the hooks started coming out- not the actual hook, but the thing you hook it into. It still works fine but I'm afraid it's going to pop out. I suppose I could just use the next row in that case, but I'd suggest maybe ordering up a band size.

This bra is extremely supportive, not to mention it does the best job separating the girls that I've ever experienced! I'm not nursing during the day any more and my boobs have shrunk a bit. I find myself in need of a new bra and I WISH they had this in a non-nursing bra! I'm not going to lie. It's ugly as sin. I finally decided that it's under my clothes and makes the girls look good, I can't hate too much! I always recommend this bra to new moms :)

This bra might become my new favorite! Good support even with a 44/DDD and WIRE FREE! Hopefully it will stand up to the test of time. My other Goddess bras have performed well, so I have high hopes for this one.
The bra itself is quite beautiful with lots of little details for those of you who are into that sort of thing. There are little dainty loops along the straps along with little etched in designs, a little bow in the front, etc. This isn't normally something I would go for, but I must say, it does look pretty. I'll take a pretty bra any day as long as it does the job an doesn't sacrifice comfort to do it. This bra seems to have it all though!
HOWEVER, The "fawn" color is NOT as pictured. I expected something much lighter colored than what I got. The photo (to me anyway) looks almost like a pinkish-white, but the real color is more tan. Fawn probably IS a good description of the true color now that I think of it, but it just doesn't look like the photo is all. It is VERY shiny (at least prior to washing, post-wash remains to be seen) and almost luminescent!

I have always had to wear 2 sports bras to be able to even jog. I have no issues with running or CrossFit with this one. It holds everything in place for box jumps, burpees, pull-ups, whatever my coaches throw at me. The only improvement I would make is for it to compress just a little bot more so "the girls" stay out of the way for weightlifting. It's definitely not enough of an issue to keep searching for a different bra. I've tried Enell and Lynx and a few others, this is hands-down the best.

Someone tell me why this bra has been discontinued! I wore the Fantasie Cally for many years, until it was also discontinued. I have tried and returned tens of other bras and was just about reduced to wearing rags when Fantasie finally came out with the Samantha. The fit is excellent for for me - very large busted but with a petite frame and narrow shoulders.

This bra offers amazing support. My clothes fit so much better when I wear it, it appears to minimize my bust by an inch or two.
Regarding fit: I wear size 16/18 or 1x tops and blouses, and I was fitted as a 36K by a pro at a lingerie shop. It fits a bit tight for the first month or two, but becomes quite comfortable over time.
I should mention that this is NOT a t-shirt bra. The lace texture will show through thin fabrics and knits. I usually wear shape-wear or a cami with this bra.

This is my second Kayla bra, but unfortunately I must have changed shape a bit because the cups are a TEENY bit too small now. I'm going to try a smaller cup and see if it will work out for me, but it is so borderline I'm just not sure if it will (I normally wear a 44DDD/E).
Even though the wacky patterns aren't really my style normally, you can't help but feel a bit sexy in these bras. They are a touch on the itchy side, but I'm pretty picky about that if I'm honest. I imagine most people wouldn't notice one bit, and this bra does feel overly luxurious and gives a beautiful shape. Super impressed overall! I hope the smaller cup works for me!

This is the first, shall we say, "decorative" bra I've purchased in a long while. With a 42DDD/E bust, I felt like I had to wear sports bras all the time to get any decent support. I decided to give this one a try because I liked my Goddess sports bra so much (in fact, it was my every day bra). This bra is fantastic! It shapes nicely, looks good under a tshirt, and it really is refreshing to have something that doesn't like orthopedic underneath for once. My only small complaint about it is that it is a little itchy at times, but it seems to be less and less of a problem as I wash it.

I love this bra. I purchased this bra at a nearby retail store and paid double for the same exact bra than what Bare Necessities charges. I will only order from Bare Necessities again. This bra gives full support. I wear a large size and feel fully supported and comfortable when I wear this bra. I don' feel at the end of the day that I have to pull this bra off. I feel comfortable all day long.

I usually wear Freya, Fantasie or Panache & love those brands. I decided to give Curvy Kate a chance and will definitely buy them again. Also, I have a large bust, but small back and shoulders. this bra has fully adjustable straps that stay in place.

when i first put it on it was like my ladies found a new home. my shoulders are still adjusting a bit to it. (the pain of breaking in your new bra) its already my favorite :)
im a 34FF (uk size) and support is everything, and this bra delivers it and more.

I am typically a 32DDD and I bought this bra after having baby number 2 and bought a 34 F. I LOVE the way it fits. I do not have excess coming out of the cup and the fit around fits perfectly. I totally recommend this for small figures with big busts! I had to ditch my underwire bras because they were blocking my production and making me hurt, and while I never didn't own an underwire due to my size, I feel this gives me the support I need.

It is so very hard to find a cute, colorful bra that fits us larger girls. I've been stuck with black and nude for so long, getting a blue bra is definitely a nice change. It fits perfectly, feels wonderful, and looks great!

I was down the my last bra when I ordered this one. The day after I ordered the wire broke through my last bra, a desperate sign indeed. I was relieved when the package arrived only a few days later. I tore open the package and changed bras immediately. Upon donning this magnificent holster, a coir of angels sang and heavenly light shone down on my breasts. This bra has a lovely subtle rose design which I enjoy, the bra is not padded but still supportive and the back has four clasps which give it a more supportive element as well. 10/10 would recommend to any busty lady looking for a dependable bra.

Highly recommend this product to any one who enjoy a supportive bra that looked classic. You can add padding on your own. This is one of my faverits from Freya. Not too crazy about their 3-parts bra, though.

After trying several styles of bras in the department stores, I looked online and to my surprise and delight, I found Bare Necessities. They gave me many choices and I chose the Venus brand. This bra had just what I was looking for...underwire, camisole style straps, a back with four hooks, a pieced cup with a sheer lining, and trimmed with a very pretty lace. I checked the measuring guide and ordered. Fast delivery and the bras are just as described.
I am a very happy and satisfied customer.

This is the first time I have tried a bodysuit. AND THIS CHANGED MY LIFE.
I recently had a baby and traditional shapewear is uncomfortable for me. I saw this and thought "this could work under a dress or skirt/top outfit OR to wear for my husband.
When I put this on I felt like my old self. VA VA VOOM.
Here's the deal: There is lace over the butt that stretches... perfect for any booty. There are sheer side panels which make you look extra slim. There is light control so you are held in and the bonus is - the cups are that of the Envy bra (stretch lace for the one breast that is larger than the other) awesome separation and lift!!
It's well made and gorgeous - get one now. Thank me later.

This is the first bra I bought of this brand. Freya usually has pretty bras in sizes that accomidate us women who are endowed. This is a sheer bra, so if you are looking for padding/lining, this isn't a bra for you. The fit is comfortable. The straps don't slip off my shoulders. Glad I took a chance with Freya.
